I'd like to thank my patients for providing feedback regarding the care I have provided to them. My staff and I value this feedback and know that the majority of new patient referrals comes from my patients telling their friends and family about me.

I saw Dr Fontes after injuring my elbow. He was prompt, took his time with me and was very professional. I would definitely go back if I ever need an Orthopedic doctor again.
